toadette regressing in age in alpha and jos eyes is actually just so sad to watch, went from competent young adult in the last video to small child playing with one horizontal joycon cause theyre too busy sucking on the other joycon like its a pacifier
You can tell really quickly if they're a bot, the shop doesn't open to show the items. Koopa was a cpu right at the start. The instant decisions and pathing in the minigames is a giveaway too lol
There's a few other signs as well -they move faster -they always go on the most direct path to the star, even if they can't afford it, even if there's a better option, and even if it's to their own detriment -they never have records in minigames, while even players who never have played that minigame will still have a default record And the following signs exist but they're not entirely reliable -they always steal from 1st at Boo, even if there's a bigger threat, although some real players are short-sighted enough to do that anyway -they never use stickers, but some players also don't -they never look at the board, but there's turns where real people don't need to
The few easiest ways to figure out if a player is an ai is 1- Their character moves faster on the board. 2- They wait till after every body else selects ready and then click it immediately after. And 3- You can fast forward during their events, (ex. When they use Steamer Train on Western Land)
@@Pearl_Blossom here's a few more signs (I think my old comment got deleted) -If a bot lands on an item space and starts an item minigame, it won't show. -When preparing for a minigame, bots will ready up in order from left -> right after all human players ready up. -If 2 bots engage a duel, the duel will not be shown. -If a bot engages a duel where it can choose between coins or a star, it will always choose a star. And 2 errors on your part: -No, bots will not always take the fastest route to the star. Imagine there is a two-way path to the star, and one path is two spaces longer than the other. The star is at the end of the two-way path, so the bot will opt for the longer path because it does not have enough coins and won't risk rolling a high number prematurely. The AI will USUALLY take the fastest route to the star, UNLESS they don't have enough coins, in which they may go for a different route. -Bots don't always steal from 1st place. If bots choose to steal coins, they will steal coins from 1st place UNLESS 1st place has only a few coins (less than 15 for pro rules, not sure for regular rules) or if another player is within 10 spaces to the star and has enough coins (think of when they use chomp call). However, if they steal a star, yes, it is always from the 1st place player.
55:26 genuinely the way to make dark humor work is to actually have a good punchline or a funny line instead of just saying something edgy and going “its a joke!!!”
The intro cutscene in snag the flags actually shows you where a lot of the flags are making it skill based but it is very funny anyone can make it an rng game by skipping it.
You know what i also miss: the different end screens for minigames. Now it’s just everyone standing around but in other games the winner in cheering whilst the losers fight for their lives. I miss that man!
33:13 actually, as someone who had luigi fix several rolls in a row on rollem raceway, if you roll multiple dice and luigi fixes one, he fixes all of them. i got a 40 once because of that which cucked me out of a star.
55:13 as someone with lifelong crippling depression and an eye for gallows humor My favorites are the truly absurde like “I’m gonna punt my head into a woodchipper”
I think that Peach was very much real, she just...played a lot like a bot at some spots. you'll notice she readied immediately at Camera Ready the one time
Peach was someone else, Ramen was 3rd impostering, he had to be mean to Koopa (Very sad), and he doesn’t even have a silly cowboy hat for a consolation - just a horrible experience all around for Jacob Alpharad
Mario Party 8 also turned a lot of 4-player minigames into duels! I'm surprised they didn't turn that into a staple going forward, it would've made a lot of sense.
The advantage peach had in the bongo game is crazy, she was hitting the notes when they entirely weren't even in the circle anymore and still got perfect points
52:32 Mario Party 8 also did that. That's how there's like 27 duel minigames in that game. 8 of them are reused minigames, and without them it's still larger than the 4 player games. (19 duels to 18 4p)
1:10:52 Snag the Flags Minigame tip: Pay attention to where your character is looking, they'll be looking towards the nearest flag in the area that you can get
If I had a nickel for every Alpharad Platinum video this week where they played ranked Mario Party with a Koopa who disconnected in the beginning of the game, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
This reminds me of the time I played my 2nd ever game of koopathalon and got matched up with 15 A tiers and 1 S tier. Somehow got 2nd only behind the S Tier as a D Tier
i just realized, what happens if someone else equips Bowser Jr.? Also Peach being in this match messes me up because Jacob is here so it's like, "Yeah he's Peach... Wait no that's Joselle" 16:30 OK I'm glad I'm not the only one. Actually if anything it makes MORE sense for Jacob to be the one confused, thinking about it. 25:03 LOL TRU 15:55 :D
If Luigi hits a dice block when rolling multiple he affects all of them, even if he hits just one. One time I rolled a double 3 and he hit one and gave me a double 10. I think it holds true for Turbo Dice too but I'm not sure.
Hey Jacob, I wrote a comment on the previous Platinum video, you may or may not seen it but I'm gonna write it here again anyways; logo of the channel that appears on bottom right is still from Alpharad Gold era, I guess you forgot to change that.
Snag the Flags would benefit from each player having separate planets, a zoomed out camera, and some kind of mapping system that gets stronger over time. There is some skill in tracking where others go, and knowing where you've been on the orb, but it is not enough.
Mario Party 8 also has Free For All games converted to duel minigames. The problem is that duels rarely happen because they got rid of the same space duels.
You can skip bot cutscenes, and the bots run faster. They also immediately ready up after you hit yours (well, they do so in rapid sequence). Pretty easy to spot.
idk if anyone else gets tripped up by this but there's a certain menuing sound effect (it's used when opening the map and I think in other places) that sounds like the snapchat incoming snap notification sound effect and makes me check my phone lmao

How the mighty have fallen
ramen is basically sasuke if you think about it
naruto
Saw this before i saw the video and paused it to think this over. 5 minutes in i unpause and see that toadette has the username "ramen"
I ate so much Sasuke in college
no i think ramen would say racial slurs
not to hate but he's like sasuke but he third imposters like a dragon ball character
57:15 the Koopa's name says Rin, for those wondering.

-they never use stickers, but some players also don't
-they never look at the board, but there's turns where real people don't need to
and on domination even your 1st time playing your record is 10 instead of nothing

That's crazy that this means you and Ramen also had the exact same idea for which board to play next
I’m hard stuck watching Alpharad Platinum videos
pause
Whatever
Thanks for sharing!
why r u hard tho?
Im stuck watching Alpharad Platinum videos hard
55:26 genuinely the way to make dark humor work is to actually have a good punchline or a funny line instead of just saying something edgy and going “its a joke!!!”
Its the John Mulaney rule. If you're going to make a joke about a dark subject, the joke has to be funnier than the topic is dark.
holy shit is that dulciena limbus company
I've seen alpharad angry, and I've seen alpharad sad, but this may be the most defeated I've ever seen him

This reminds me of episode 2 of Mario party ranked
That's what I thought of too
@@gloomy_glamourThat's what i; the way home
33:13 actually, as someone who had luigi fix several rolls in a row on rollem raceway, if you roll multiple dice and luigi fixes one, he fixes all of them. i got a 40 once because of that which cucked me out of a star.
1:20:10 "THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM !!!"
I'm softlocked between a clogged toilet and a long line impatient guys

My favorites are the truly absurde like “I’m gonna punt my head into a woodchipper”
"I think we shouldnt joke about suicide...
*but...*"
I think Ramen drank some chlorine in between this match and the previous one.
I think that Peach was very much real, she just...played a lot like a bot at some spots. you'll notice she readied immediately at Camera Ready the one time
32:19 You can jump over the walls in this game, and it's a lot easier than trying to jump around them.
I spent almost every single minigame watching Peach and thinking "Wow Jacob kinda choked there" before having the sudden realization that it's not him
This echo is just a preview of heaven, where new Alpharad Platinum videos are released daily
I'm starting to think Jacob's Mario Party luck wasn't his luck, it was Whoever Plays Peach's luck
I think this is the most unlucky ive ever seen jacob alpharad be.
I think its because of peach tbh.
Peach was someone else, Ramen was 3rd impostering, he had to be mean to Koopa (Very sad), and he doesn’t even have a silly cowboy hat for a consolation - just a horrible experience all around for Jacob Alpharad
Having mad beef with toadette when its probably a child is so funny
It’s so funny how salty Jacob gets when losing when he’s always mocking others when they get salty
Excited for next year's Alpharad Diamond where we watch Dash play ranked Mario party!
Mario Party 8 also turned a lot of 4-player minigames into duels! I'm surprised they didn't turn that into a staple going forward, it would've made a lot of sense.
Jacob vs. Joselle feels like the strongest Mario Party player in history vs. the strongest Mario Party player of today
And then they both get beaten by a toaster that can only toast one slice at a time
ramen ranking up is so wholesome
Ranked Mario Party arc is exactly what the deluxe plus goldinum saga needed. We’re so back
I wonder what percentage of Alpha's life has been on the MP board
Like it’s gotta be at least a solid 3-5% - FWOB alone really bumps those numbers
The advantage peach had in the bongo game is crazy, she was hitting the notes when they entirely weren't even in the circle anymore and still got perfect points
For the flag getting minigame, you can see where to go by looking at the planet during the intro cutscene
Excellent form, sauntered towards your loss like a gentleman. I absolutely need more
Ranked Mario party has officially triggered another Joker arc for Jacob
The character Tier list comes down to who you DON'T want as a jamboree buddy.
52:32 Mario Party 8 also did that. That's how there's like 27 duel minigames in that game. 8 of them are reused minigames, and without them it's still larger than the 4 player games. (19 duels to 18 4p)
Pro rules are actually so dogshit for doing that to Bowser spaces
This video is a Hit
Koopa Troopa is the goat
@@Alan-m7n no its a turtle
@@pezyg my bad
1:10:52 Snag the Flags Minigame tip:
Pay attention to where your character is looking, they'll be looking towards the nearest flag in the area that you can get
57:14 it says rin
which is just a regular japanese name as i understand it. maybe there's deeper meaning, maybe there isnt
19:20 I believe if you don't have a star he takes half your coins, so buying the star was still the right move there
Seeing that you can actually lose rank in this mode is wild…
I think Jo was just watching the Peach animation on the donkey Kong minigame, because she was almost perfect
Leaving the game turn one just for the bot to win is really funny.
Koopa’s name was “Rin” which could conceivably be a bot’s name
Is that a common name in Japan?
@ I believe so, but my Japanese is pretty bad so I could be wrong on that front
If I had a nickel for every Alpharad Platinum video this week where they played ranked Mario Party with a Koopa who disconnected in the beginning of the game, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Hiii ramen
Edit: what are they cooking
This reminds me of the time I played my 2nd ever game of koopathalon and got matched up with 15 A tiers and 1 S tier. Somehow got 2nd only behind the S Tier as a D Tier
Just a heads up, Goomba Lagoon also has two Boos!
i just realized, what happens if someone else equips Bowser Jr.?

15:55 :D
Pretty sure the game won't matchmake you with someone that chooses your character
@@CatWithHumanEars That's yet another limitation on people you can find, no wonder CPUs are so common lol
@@CatWithHumanEarsso the optimal play for finding human players is picking a character nobody likes
I fucking love the dynamic music in these last couple Mario party games. Those last 5 turns mixes go crazy
The two bowser turns not even showing up on the star chart cause it was gained and lost in a turn is very funny
The AI players dont go into the shop menu, so thats a way to let you see who isnt real. (None of us are)
Jacob forfeited his luck by being unfaithful for Peach, OR PartyPro15 just has separate (bad) luck.
truly matchmaking of all time
12:45 that was actually my grad quote
The Koopa's name in this game is 'Rin' :)
for pro rules i always chose the warp block, cuz its kinda like a pipe but u know which 3 spaces u can go to
42:10 my guess is she rolled your star steal and didn't want to land on it
fun fact: you can jump over the barriers in platform peril. you dont have to jump around them
I’m hard stuck waiting for Alpharad Platinum to play Phantom Dust
Probably got like 10 Wendy’s ads watching this video
That "bot" at 42:25 felt so derogatory lmao
"Jacob bullies children online while Jo watches in horror" has become my new favourite thing to watch
I'm glad they didn't forget Bowser Jr. for their elite smash playthrough this time
If Luigi hits a dice block when rolling multiple he affects all of them, even if he hits just one. One time I rolled a double 3 and he hit one and gave me a double 10. I think it holds true for Turbo Dice too but I'm not sure.
I will watch the entire saga up to diamond and beyond ong
GGs I was Koopa
19:04 this was hilarious after the comment about mean bowser haha.
20 minutes in waiting for the reveal that peach is just Jo on another switch and they're teaming up to bully a kid online yet again
Brushing my teeth rn
Rare Alpharad L. The luck was heavily weighted out of your favor.
11:54 embarrassing jacob. Didn't get the 150? smh
Mario party 8 had 1 v 1 duels based on free for alls. Deadass really cool unique duels in that game too
A lot of the duels in Mario Party 8 are repurposed 4-player games
1:04:29 it ligit took me out of it when Jo said "that peach is a choker"
Wow the C and D lost against the A an S players, never saw that coming
Hey Jacob, I wrote a comment on the previous Platinum video, you may or may not seen it but I'm gonna write it here again anyways; logo of the channel that appears on bottom right is still from Alpharad Gold era, I guess you forgot to change that.
1:04:32 got me like election night
feeling blessed for more mario party
55:59 I always go with the clasic of persona 3, and every consecutive time I do it, I mention a different version or spin-off
This video felt as stressful as Jo Helltaker
Snag the Flags would benefit from each player having separate planets, a zoomed out camera, and some kind of mapping system that gets stronger over time. There is some skill in tracking where others go, and knowing where you've been on the orb, but it is not enough.
Worth noting here that Jacob walks away as the player who gained the most rank.
About to board a flight, W upload schedule
ramen’s gonna enter their training arc and come back with a vengeance
Mario Party 8 also has Free For All games converted to duel minigames. The problem is that duels rarely happen because they got rid of the same space duels.
Whenever i tune back in i find myself paying attention to peachs
I hope they play wii bowling
Living for the evil Ramen arc!
Jacob siphons all his Mario Party luck into Peach, but he just happened to not be playing as her this time
according to google translate Koopas name was Rin (i do not know how accurate that is)
I think people disagreeing that the bleach drinking game is funny makes it funnier.
Notice I didn't capitalize "bleach".
You can skip bot cutscenes, and the bots run faster. They also immediately ready up after you hit yours (well, they do so in rapid sequence). Pretty easy to spot.
ALPHARAD PURPLE??????
Day 20!!!
57:17 Name says Rin
Alpharad, Jo carried you. You wouldn't have beat Toadette if he didn't play for you part of the game.
idk if anyone else gets tripped up by this but there's a certain menuing sound effect (it's used when opening the map and I think in other places) that sounds like the snapchat incoming snap notification sound effect and makes me check my phone lmao
7:41 from what I have seen in videos, random always selects the last person in the list.
